The site is surrounded in all directions by agricultural fields and residential properties and small vegetated areas. The proposed site is an irregular shaped parcel of land. Half of the site consists of several small structures associated with the builders’ yard and large piles of building materials. The other half of the site appears to be an area of open land. The site is centred on the approximate OS grid reference: SP 2855285310 Proposed Works The proposed works include further investigations to assess the level of contamination on the site and the removal of all building materials and hard-standings. The entirety of the site will then be remediated and returned to pastoral/arable land or residential development. Geology and Bomb Penetration Depth Site specific geological data / borehole information is not available at the site at the time of writing this report so maximum bomb penetration depth cannot be calculated. -
Warre, F, Woodspring Priory, Part II, Vol 4
108 PAPERS, ETC. 'IBnaiispring |Mari}. BY REV. F. WARRE. HE rise of the celebrated Thomas a' Becket, otherwise fl. St. Thomas of Canterbury, to almost unlimited power under King Henry II. ; his contest with that monarch on the subject of Papal jurisdiction and the rights of the church ; and his bloody murder at the very foot of the altar, in the year 1170; are historical facts known to everybody: and whether we consider him ac- cording to the bias of our religious and political opinions, a turbulent traitor, a patriotic assertor of the rights of the commons, a champion of the oppressed Saxon against his Norman tyrant, a hot-headed zealot, or a martyr to the Church of Christ, we can hardly deny him the credit of having been a sincere, honest, fearless, and single-minded man. But though these are facts generally known and now almost as generally admitted, there are perhaps, even among the present company, some who may not be aware that of the four fierce Barons who in consequence of a hasty speech of their King, perpetrated the atrocious murder of an Archbishop at the altar of his own cathedral, three at least, if not all, were west countrymen, and two undoubtedly residents in this county. Fitzurse, of Willi- ton ; Brito, of Sandford Bret ; Tracy, of Morthoe, near WOODSPRING PUIOIIY. 109 Ilfracombc, and Morville, who I believe was also a land- owner in Devonshire, were the actors in a tragedy which caused a general feeling of horror through the whole christian world. That powerful monarch, Henry II., proud Plantagcnet as he was, submitted to a degrading penance, having been publicly scourged before the high altar by the monks of Canterbury, while a' Becket, canonized by the Romish church, was even to the time of the Reformation held in veneration as a saint and martyr, and miracles were said to have been worked at his shrine, which the gifts of persons of all ranks and nations soon rendered one of the richest in Europe. -

Ancient Dumnonia
ancient Dumnonia. BT THE REV. W. GRESWELL. he question of the geographical limits of Ancient T Dumnonia lies at the bottom of many problems of Somerset archaeology, not the least being the question of the western boundaries of the County itself. Dcmnonia, Dumnonia and Dz^mnonia are variations of the original name, about which we learn much from Professor Rhys.^ Camden, in his Britannia (vol. i), adopts the form Danmonia apparently to suit a derivation of his own from “ Duns,” a hill, “ moina ” or “mwyn,” a mine, w’hich is surely fanciful, and, therefore, to be rejected. This much seems certain that Dumnonia is the original form of Duffneint, the modern Devonia. This is, of course, an extremely respectable pedigree for the Western County, which seems to be unique in perpetuating in its name, and, to a certain extent, in its history, an ancient Celtic king- dom. Such old kingdoms as “ Demetia,” in South Wales, and “Venedocia” (albeit recognisable in Gwynneth), high up the Severn Valley, about which we read in our earliest records, have gone, but “Dumnonia” lives on in beautiful Devon. It also lives on in West Somerset in history, if not in name, if we mistake not. Historically speaking, we may ask where was Dumnonia ? and who were the Dumnonii ? Professor Rhys reminds us (1). Celtic Britain, by G. Rhys, pp. 290-291. — 176 Papers, §*c. that there were two peoples so called, the one in the South West of the Island and the other in the North, ^ resembling one another in one very important particular, vizo, in living in districts adjoining the seas, and, therefore, in being maritime. -

Coventry Blitz: Banding Together in a Crisis As I Sit in the Coventry
Coventry Blitz: Banding together in a Crisis As I sit in the Coventry Archives, the ruins of the Old Cathedral are clear in view, evoking the remembrance of the Coventry Blitz during the Second World War (1939-1945). We now approach 80 years since the events of the 14th and 15th November 1940 bombing raids on the city. The operation was codenamed Moonlight Sonata by the Germans and left the city devastated. After diving into the Coventry Archives material, I would like to share some details from the events surrounding the November air raid to show how people banded together during the crisis. The raid occurred on a clear and crisp night, with the city illuminated by the moon - this sounds rather picturesque under normal circumstances; however, it unfortunately allowed the German bombers to have full visibility of their target. The attack on the 14th lasted eleven hours, with 449 bombers reaching the city and dropping 500 tonnes of high explosives.1 Additionally, an estimated 30,000 incendiaries were dropped on the city.2 The severity of the attack came in continuous waves and was so concentrated that it completely destroyed the area. Coventry was a strategic target for the Germans during the Second World War, and in the below map of the city from 1933 you can gain an understanding of its industrial importance. The major sites have been circled in white and the abundance of factories are circled in yellow. 1 Mortimer, Gavin, The Blitz: An Illustrated History, 2010, Oxford, 79. 2 Mortimer, Gavin, The Blitz: An Illustrated History, 2010, Oxford, 79.
